The Shutter: Yakitori Torys Shutters to Become Another Ramen Joint

A tipster reports that Yakitori Torys , sister restaurant to Yakitori Totto and the newly opened Totto Ramen , closed over the weekend, adding, “the server claimed that they weren’t making any money and will be a ramen restaurant by next weekend.” Apparently the people of Midtown would rather slurp noodles than chew on chicken bones, because a call to sister Totto confirmed that the four year-old Japanese yakitori spot is indeed shuttered. They’re hoping to get their ramen on within the next two weeks

Movie Monday – June 21 – Flying the Convair 880

SEATTLE — In a continuation of last week’s Movie Monday which took us through the industrial preparations for production of the General Dynamics Convair 880 jetliner, this week’s edition takes us inside the ground and flight testing of the new jet that took place between January 1959 and May 1960. What struck me about this particular promotional film from GD was how much the fundamentals of testing and developing new aircraft haven’t changed that significantly over the last half century. I’d be very curious to hear your thoughts on this as well
